Pro-life DemonstratorsSummoned to Court

By Citizens for a Pro-Life Society Editors

Citizens for a Pro-life Society Director and 15 Other Members will appear in
South Bend Court-- Wednesday, June 3rd for their protest of the Obama Notre Dame
commencement speech on Sunday, May 17, 2009. They are charged with trespassing
on the Notre Dame campus and will be represented by attorney Tom Dixon from the
American Center for Law and Justice.

The arrest occurred when Dr. Monica Miller, Felician Sister Lois Marie, 5
college students and others walked on to the parking lot of the Joyce Center
where, just prior to the start of the commencement, they made an attempt to show
photos of abortion victims to ND students lined up to enter the building. These
were photos of aborted babies that members of CPLS retrieved from the trash
dumpsters behind Woman Care abortion center in Lathrup Village, MI and Woman's
Advisory abortion center in Livonia, Michigan.

Please say special prayers for these pro-lifers. Pray that a great witness to
life and to truth will be offered for the sanctity of life. Pray that justice
will be done for the innocent unborn for whom they bore witness.
--- Dr. Miller

Why I Am Not Pleading Guilty

By Monica Migliorino Miller, Ph.D
Director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society

Let me explain my philosophy behind pleading NOT GUILTY to the charge of
trespassing at the University of Notre Dame First of all, our attorney, Tom
Dixon, doesn't believe that we are even legally guilty. We should give him a
chance to advocate a defense for us.

However, even if we know that we could never prevail legally in court-- when we
plead not guilty we are saying that we stand with the aborted unborn to whom we
bore witness. We were a voice of truth in a situation that needed the truth to
be spoken.

Our advocacy for the outcast unborn was needed and morally justified by the fact
that a Catholic university actually invited the primary, most powerful, most
visible supporter of the unjust law of Roe v. Wade to give the commencement
address and then bestowed upon him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Fr.
Jenkins and the Notre Dame Board of Trustees is guilty of betraying the Catholic
faith. We cannot be guilty for doing what is right--even though the law may
claim that we are. Please pray for us!
